    Will it seems the fix must has been in at the car show. There were 2 cars in the new mini class that I would think have been a hard to beat, but I got 3 place and the other guy got nothing. It was fun anyway. Me and the wife enjoyed it.

    Due to the storm that rolled through Sunday night. We were having our anniversary dinner when it hit so we were not at home. 35 years even the storm ain’t stopping us!

    The yellow car got first and the blue car got second. Hard to believe.

    I’d have to say that from the photo they do not look anywhere near as nice as yours.

    Didn’t even occur to me that the car show might be a popular vote.

    Haven't done this yet, but it is TPMS sensor time for Skooby. At 15 years the old the sensor batteries are dying. Next week I'll have Discount Tire install 4 new ones. Yes I could find the dead one & replace just it. But sooner or later I'd be casing my tail with more dead sensors. :Dead:

    I had a gasoline powered one for a number of years but when time came to replace I also went with an electric model. It’s not quite as powerful as the gas one but oh so much quieter.

    Sounds like you picked a winner in the brake pad department.

    Understandable as you have put a lot of sweat equity and hard earned money into making it a great looking car.

    That is insanity! I put two wide band O2 sensors on my Lotus they are a couple of inches apart. They read exactly the same. Sorry you had to go through that.

    good luck with the test!
